Goal #2:
Finish my
Dwarf Rangers
GOAL
FAILED
Due to some
unfortunate life-related business followed by crushing art block on
how to paint the crossbows and axe hafts, I didn't get the Rangers
finished, as you can see.
However, in
random spare moments I have been able to make some progress on
clearing the painting table.
Other
Progress
A model I
really want to be a production number, the Deathwatch Watch-Master
nears completion with only some final metallic details and the
Inquisitorial seals on his cape left to do. I rather like how to the
drybrushing on the Guardian spear blade came out, which is good since
I ruined a perfectly good drybrush that I can now only use for Sotek
Green.
Sanded and
moving to the basing shelf are five Flesh Tearers Tactical Marines
including Sergeant, meltagun and heavy flamer, plus a kitbashed
Librarian. The white on the chapter heraldry is still not as flat as
I'd like but I feel I'm making progress.
I also can't
help but feel that no matter what I do with inks, that blue on the
Librarian is too flat. Still, I like how the conversion came out with
the warding hand.
Finally, a
test model for my Tzeentch Chaos Warriors. A lot of work to do on
this one but I like how the Thousand Sons Blue looks on the cloth. I
think the silver armour is going to have some sort of glaze over it
to give it a “magical” sheen, probably blue but I'll decide once
I have the gold layered up to Auric. Also, I need to look up a good
stone method for that base from the How To Paint Dwarfs book.

Goal #3
Build my Kairic Acolytes
This might
seem a little weak sauce and, honestly, it is. For one thing I do
want to finish those Rangers and don't want to add anything large to
the painting table but I do want to fiddle around with the models I
just bought. That said, building them will be a little less than
straightforward as they're for an old school Fantasy army so I have
to get models designed for round 32mm bases to rank up on square 25mm
bases.
Hopefully
not too much of an ask as the scales don't seem too different but it
might take me some time and fiddling about.
